Taika Waititi just lately appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show to debate the discharge of his upcoming movie, Next Goal Wins, and as with all particular person even tangentially associated to Star Wars (and particularly somebody dedicated to writing and directing a movie), Clarkson snuck in a query concerning the standing of his Star Wars movie simply earlier than the top of his interview. Waititi reiterated what was beforehand reported on by Business Insider a few weeks in the past:
“I’ve been creating [the Star Wars film] for just a few years, however I feel with any movie, however that one particularly, it’s one thing I’d actually wish to get proper so I don’t need to rush it. It’s going to bubble alongside on the facet.
I wanna seize that pleasure and leisure of these early ones like The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and all these ones, so I’m making an attempt to determine that out. It’ll occur.”
There’s not a lot to go on right here, however I’m guessing that his reference to the unique trilogy interprets to a narrative that’s lighter or extra carefree, with out the added lore and worldbuilding that knowledgeable the institutional downfall of the Jedi and Anakin’s descent into darkness that we witness within the prequel trilogy. A movie, maybe, that’s not with out emotion or heavy subject material, however can stand alone as a satisfyingly encapsulated journey. Though, it’s a generic remark, so who actually is aware of.
Regardless of the place you stand with the sequel trilogy, most will agree that the schedules for these movies had been rushed, and maybe, suffered some penalties creatively. With that in thoughts, it’s comforting to listen to that Waititi is taking his time with the script, which is able to hopefully result in a refined and thoughtfully crafted outcome. However, given Waititi’s busy schedule, this movie is beginning to fade additional and additional into the horizon.
In his interview with Business Insider, Waititi reiterated he’s been writing the film (“It’s nonetheless marinating. I’ve been writing it,” he mentioned), however confirmed it won’t be his subsequent mission. Instead, his subsequent effort can be directing Klara and the Sun, the variation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s New York Times best-selling novel. He additionally talked about he’s writing The Incal, the variation of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s graphic novel. There was no point out of Akira, one other movie he’s signed onto. Combined, he estimated these three titles would take up “six, seven years” of his life, although wouldn’t affirm the order through which he’ll make them.
